Fulcrum 2013 Racing 1 Wheelset - Clincher

For 2013 Fulcrum have made some subtle but important updates to the proven performer Racing One clincher wheelset. This performance clincher wheelset still features Fulcrums famed bearings and a cleverly milled rim, but it now has updated graphics and a mega-drive rear hub flange for additional stiffness and improved power transfer.

Whether you're training hard for the new season or racing between cafe's with friends the racing 1 is a proven companion.

Key Features:

• The new mega-drive side hub features a larger driveside flange for improved stiffness and power transfer and also a small weight saving over the previous model.
• New graphics for 2013.
• The rims are made of extremely high precision aluminium extrusions and then triple milled which make it possible to eliminate all excess material, so they are ultra-light but at the same time very strong.
• The front and rear wheel profiles are differentiated: the 26mm height for the front guarantees excellent aerodynamic penetration, while the 30mm of the rear wheel means extremely effective transmission of your pedalling power and improved aerodynamic performance.
• Fulcrum 2:1 spoke ratio on rear wheel, doubles the number of spokes on the drive side for greater wheel stability and improved power transfer in the rear wheel.
• 16 radial aero spokes on front wheel, 21 on rear laced with aluminium nipples for strength and low weight.
• Fulcrum Dynamic Balance keeps the Racing 1 wheels perfectly stable but is achieved in the rim milling process rather than spokes in the Racing 5.
• Alloy hub bodies with aluminium flanges are strong, light and stiff.
• Weight: 1485g (635g + 850g - Manufacturer claimed)
• Includes the new Fulcrum quick releases.
• Please note this is a clincher wheelset and only suitable for use with clincher tyres.

This wheelset is Shimano 11 speed compatible, it is also compatible with 9 and 10 speed Shimano but you will need to use the spacer provided. Please note that this 11 speed compatibility is a rolling change from Fulcrum for their 2013 wheelsets so please check the description for this message about compatibility.
